Abstract: The adsorption of CO, H2 and CO/H2 on ZrO2 was investigated by in situ FTIR. H2 species adsorbed over ZrO2 produced two bands at 3780 and 3680 cm-1, corresponding to ZrOHZr and ZrOH, respectively. COadsorbed on ZrO2 formed formate species at 200 ℃, which slowly decomposed to COwith the rise of adsorption temperature. The formate over ZrO2 could be hydrogenated into methoxide species and methane in H2. As a result, the hydrogenation of methoxide, which proceeded slowly relatively, seemed to be the rate-determining step.

Key words: in situ FTIR, H2, CO, Adsorption
